Tony Snow, on a conference call with bloggers right now: “We need a surge of facts. That’s one of the things we’re going to be working on. I’m going to be doing it from the podium…. So far we have had very few visuals to confirm what Americans want to believe. We have an amazing and heroic American military… The only way to change public opinion [on Iraq] is to present a fuller, more nuanced and more accurate picture.”

“We’re gonna present bad news too. You have to… But it’s a miracle anyone supports the war, based on the characterizations that have been painted.”

Snow says he’s going to put up slides, video, and audio on new screens behind him during the daily press briefing. “We’re not gonna spin, but we’re going to provide real hard data.”

For dead-enders like me that’s welcome news, because to this point, I’ve only had Bill Roggio and Michael Yon [links added] available to present the type of information on the other and more successful aspects of the Iraqi effort.
